Carmen was willing to give them an earnest chance.
    “Why don’t you come over after work tonight, we’ll have dinner and watch a movie.” Carmen offered.
    “Sounds great; I’ll see you then.”
    Dexter’s faith in his and Carmen’s relationship had been restored. She was willing to go through with their wedding plans. She would become Mrs. Dexter Crane.
    Meanwhile, Carol was busy contemplating her next plan of action. She was determined to find a way to replace Dexter’s love for Carmen with an underlying love for herself. She’d never wanted something so badly; she was miserable. She’d always gotten what she wanted and this time would be no different. She was willing to go to any length necessary regardless of repercussion.
    As she discreetly staked out Carmen’s residence, Carol discovered a back entrance she failed to notice the night before. No one would see her if she went in this way. She parked her car a street over and followed the back alley to Carmen’s house. She was eager to wreak havoc on the happy abode.
    She subtly picked the lock and let herself inside. Everything was perfectly organized but not for long. Carol snooped through Carmen’s belongings as they were her own. In a jewelry box on her dresser, Carol made an extraordinary discovery. A beautiful diamond ring much resembling an engagement ring was carefully placed inside. She removed it and put it on her finger. She admired it for a few moments and then carried out her initial plan.
    Caressing her stomach, her attention momentarily belonged to her unborn child. “So your daddy thinks he can just throw us away and marry someone else. Don’t you worry baby, mommy won’t let him push us away. I’ll make him love us. We’re his family and he belongs with us.” She spoke out loud.
    Absolutely content with the results of her intrusion, Carol let herself out the same way she had entered. She couldn’t wait until Carmen came home and found the disarray she’d created. She’d be furious! She’d make a report with the police but once again there was no evidence proving Carol’s guilt. She was much too clever to leave behind a trace of her presence as she’d worn gloves during the commission of the vigilante act.
    The day had been long for Carmen as
    she was sick for the majority of it. She was convinced that she had picked up a virus somewhere. Hopefully she’d feel better tomorrow. As she pulled into her drive, the sight of Dexter’s truck excited her. He was waiting for her; she greeted him with open arms.
    Carmen’s sickness instantaneously returned with the opening of her front door; only this time it was much worse than it had been all day. She was in disbelief.
    “Will she ever give up? I hate her!” Carmen shouted.
    “You’ve got to be kidding me. Is someone playing a joke on us?” Dexter wondered.
    He was fuming. He had no doubt in his mind that Carol was responsible for this obtrusive visit. He felt an overwhelming need to confront her but had to call the police first. They were on their way.
    “Are you crazy? How could you wreck Carmen’s house?” he shouted angrily.
    “What are you talking about Dexter? You can’t prove anything. Leave me alone.” Carol said as she abruptly ended the call.
    Dexter then turned to Carmen.
    “I’m so sorry Carmen. I know she did this. Why can’t she just go away?”
    “She’ll never go away Dexter. She’ll terrorize us until we die.”
    The police came and made a report. Though Carmen and Dexter made known their suspicion of Carol, there was no proof. The policeman did, however; suggest a restraining order to keep her away. Carmen and Dexter thanked him for his time and service and showed him to the front door.
    They began to clean up the disorganization around them; nothing was in its rightful place. Pictures were knocked off the wall and broken, tables over turned and left on their sides, drawers were emptied and scattered. Carmen was more upset concerning her missing
